Lyrics
[Intro]
God has a plan
And the Bible unfolds that wonderful plan
Through the message of prophesy
God sent Jesus into this world to be our Savior
And the Christ is returning someday soon
To unfold the wonderful plan of eternity
For my life and your life
As long as we're cooperating with God
By accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior
And as the Lord does return in the coming seven days
We'll see you next time here on This Week in Bible Prophesy
[Intro]
Tupac don't start that blasphemy in here
Makaveli, the new breed
And I remember what my Pops told me
The new word, follow me
Remember what my Pops told me
[Verse 1]
My family tree consists of drug dealers, thugs, and killers
Struggling, known to hustle screaming, fuck they feelings
I got advice from my father, all he told me was this
****, get off your ass if you plan to be rich
There's ten rules to the game, but I'll share with you two
Know **** gon' hate you for whatever you do
Now rule one, get your cash on, M.O.B.
That's Money Over Bitches 'cause they breed envy
Now rule two is a hard one, watch for phonies
Keep your enemies close, ****, watch your homies
It seemed a little unimportant when he told me I smiled
Picture jewels being handed to an innocent child
I never knew in my lifetime, I'd live by these rules
Initiated as an outlaw studying rules
Now papa ain't around, so I gotta recall
Or come to grips with being written on my enemy's walls
Promised if I have a seed, I'ma guide him right
Dear Lord, don't let me die tonight
I got words for my comrades, listen and learn
Ain't nothing free, give back what you earn
No doubt, getting higher than a motherfucka, bless me please
This thug life'll be the death of me
Come on, yeah
[PreChorus]
And I remember what my papa told me
Remember what my pops told me
Blasphemy
Come on
[Chorus]
Love for them that steal in the name of the Lord
Them a tell 'nough lie, holding my bird in a cloud
Using the name of the Lord in vain
While the people in the ghetto feel 'nough pain
[Verse 2]
We probably in Hell already
Our dumb asses not knowing
Everybody kissing ass to go to Heaven ain't going
Put my soul on it
I'm fighting devil **** daily, plus the media be crucifying brothers severely
Tell me I ain't God's son, **** momma a virgin
We got addicted, had to leave the 'burbs
Back in the ghetto doing wild shit
Looking at the sun don't pay
Criminal mind all the time, wait for judgement day
They say Moses split the Red Sea
I split the blunt and rolled a fat one, I'm deadly
Babylon beware, coming for the Pharaoh's kids
Retaliation making legends off the shit we did
Still bullshitting **** in Jerusalem, waiting for signs
God coming, she's just taking her time
[Verse 3]
Living by the Nile while the water flow
I'm contemplating plots, wondering where the thought'll go
Brothers getting shot, coming back resurrected
This that raw shit, ****, check it
[PreChorus]
And I remember what my papa told me
Remember what my papa told me
Blasphemy
[Chorus]
Love for them that steal in the name of the Lord
Them a tell 'nough lie, holding my bird in a cloud
Using the name of the Lord in vain
While the people in the ghetto feel 'nough pain
[Verse 4]
The preacher want me buried, why? 'Cause I know he a liar
Have you ever seen a crackhead? That's eternal fire
Why you got these kid's minds thinking that they evil?
While the preacher being richer, you say honor God's people
Should we cry when the Pope die?
My request, we should cry if they cried when we buried Malcom X
Mama, tell me, am I wrong? Is God just another cop?
Waiting to beat my ass if I don't go pop?
Memories of a past time giving up cash
To the leaders, knowing damn well it ain't gonna feed us
In my brain, how can you explain time in B.C.?
It's hard enough to live now in these times of greed
They say Jesus is a kind man
Well, he should understand times in this crime, man
My thug nation
Do what you gotta do but know you gotta change
Try to find a way to make it out the game
I leave this and hope God can see my heart is pure
Is Heaven just another door?
I leave this here
I leave this and hope God see my heart is pure
Is Heaven just another door?
And my people say
[Chorus]
Love for them that steal in the name of the Lord
Them a tell 'nough lie, but holding my bird in a cloud
Using the name of the Lord in vain
While the people in the ghetto, they feel 'nough pain
[Chorus]
Love for them that steal in the name of the Lord
Them a tell 'nough lie but holding my bird in a cloud
Using the name of the Lord in vain
While the people in the ghetto feel 'nough pain
[Chorus]
Love for them that steal in the name of the Lord
Them a tell 'nough lie but holding my bird in a cloud
Using the name of the Lord in vain
While the people in the ghetto feel 'nough pain
[Chorus]
Love for them that steal in the name of the Lord
Them a tell 'nough lie, holding my bird in a cloud
Using the name of the Lord in vain
While the people in the ghetto feel 'nough pain
